Even though chewing gum is illegal in many schools, sometimes we can't help ourselves! These steps will help you chew your gum whenever you want without getting caught by your teacher.

Steps

1. 1 Start chewing gum beforethan you enter class. This will cause it to lose its pleasant smell and you should get used to it. Also, if you have fresh gum, you can take a sip of cold water or any other cold drink to eliminate the smell.
2. 2 Draw people's attention away from your mouth. Draw their attention to other parts of the body.Chewing gum can leave a very strong odor.
3. 3 Chew gum differently. Chew slowly and discreetly, making sure your mouth is closed. Don't make unnecessary sounds and check that your jaw moves at an even slow pace. Try to chew with the teacher's back to you, and still do it slowly.
4. 4 Don't chew overly flavored or fruity gum. They leave a very strong scent that your teacher can pick up with ease.
5. 5 Chew with your mouth closed. There is nothing worse than showing your gum.
6. 6 Do not inflate balloons. They will most likely burst when you inflate them, and everyone can see you chewing gum.
7. 7 Think like a teacher. Put yourself in his place. If you were a teacher and thought that someone could chew gum, you probably used several tactics to track down the cheater. Imagine who it could be (for each teacher, these are different students) and use this knowledge in combination with any information in the article to hide the fact that you are chewing gum.
8. 8 Practice speaking with gum in your mouth for a few minutes a day at home. As you speak, place it on the top of the palate or on the left or right side of the palate near the upper gum. Eventually, you will learn to speak skillfully with the gum in your mouth. On the other hand, you can quickly and discreetly remove the gum from your mouth, so the teacher will not have the slightest idea that you had it.
9. 9 If the teacher is next to you while you are chewing gum, stop chewing. Just put it in your mouth. Don't play with the gum with your tongue in your mouth, because when you do, your throat moves. Thus, observant teachers catch you chewing gum. If he / she explains something, looks at you and asks yes or no, just nod.
10. 10 In case the teacher is you caught or asked if you have any gum, confess. You have been identified; there is no point in making the teacher angry, swallowing gum, or lying about it (this could get you into even worse trouble). Admit your defeat.
11. 11 When answering a question, stick the gum to the palate or hide it under your tongue. Or as explained before, you can hide it on the left or right side of the top near the gum.
12. 12 If you are almost caught and the gum is small, you can swallow it. (Try this at your own risk!) However, there is no point in doing this if the teacher has already noticed it.
13. 13 When you take out the gum after chewing it, keep your hands close to your face as if you were wiping your nose and use your tongue to place it in your palm. Make sure you always have a napkin, an old candy wrapper or a piece of paper in your pocket to put your used rubber band in. Remember, some teachers know this trick, they were also once high school students!
14. 14 If you think the teacher has any suspicions, it is best to simply remove the gum from your mouth. You can pretend to yawn by covering your mouth with your hand; pretend that you bite your nails; pretend that you are straightening your braces or taking something out of your teeth; pretend to sneeze or cough.
15. 15 When you're in a lesson that you know the teacher will catch you, even if you're very careful, just put the gum in your pocket. If the teacher catches you, accept defeat.

Tips

• It is best to avoid large, colored chewing gum. A huge lump of green lime-flavored gum is much more noticeable than a small pink gum.
• Swallowing gum is completely harmless. The most popular misconception is that it will take her 7 years to get through the digestive system. The gum will pass through the esophagus absolutely harmlessly, without sticking to anything.
• If the teacher hears the smell of gum and asks you about it, hide it in your mouth or near your gums and just say that you just ate candy recently. If he asks which one, say that it is some kind of fruit or something that smells like gum.
• Sit in the middle of the class. Teachers know that if you sit in the back you will do it. You will be easily caught up ahead.
• Try not to stick gum under your desk / chair. This is unhygienic and can harm other people who will later sit in this place.
• If you lift your upper lip towards your nose, you will see your gums. Hide your gum there and press it down to flatten it, or hide it under your tongue (although this may cause some pain if the gum stays in there too long).
• Instead of chewing gum, try pressing it with your tongue; instead of pinching it with your molars, interfere with it with your tongue. It does not require jaw movement.
• If the teacher catches you, throw away some of your gum. Just take a bite and throw the rest in the bin. This way, you still have some gum left. Or when you go to the trash can, just spit and leave the rubber in your mouth. But don't chew on the leftover gum until you are sure the teacher is with his back to you.
• Rest your head on your fist as if you are tired and use your other hand to cover your mouth discreetly. But don't put your chin directly on your fist, or your head will move up and down.
• Look at the teacher out of the corner of your eye when you think he is looking at you. Stop chewing or poking it between your lips or teeth / palate. Plus, if your teacher is too strict, just confess to him. Don't lie, it will only get worse.
• The wrappers are not intended for digestion. Cadbiori-Adams, who makes Stride, has said many times that they are designed and approved for contact with food, but that doesn't mean they can be swallowed or chewed. Don't fall for it.
• If you have a VERY observant teacher, don't worry.
• The best time to chew gum is lunchtime, although this is not considered class time. When you chew gum at lunchtime, you are the least likely to get caught. Chew it after eating.
• If you are asked if you chew gum, say no, and say that you just have something with your tongue. If they don't believe you, open your mouth (in the meantime, hide the gum in the sky) and stick out your tongue. (Remember that your elastic band may fall out or get caught in your throat. Only do this if you are absolutely sure you are not believed.)
• If you have braces and the teacher sees that you are chewing on something (because you have gum), you can always tell it was wax. If you think your teacher has any suspicions that you have an elastic band, ask to go to the toilet to fix the wax / braces / et cetera. This will make him / her think it was orthodontic and not gum! Asking to go to the toilet is also a fantastic way to get rid of gum if it starts to lose its taste or if you think someone (teacher or student) suspected something.

Warnings

• Don't do this often, or at least many times in the same class.
• Do this at your own risk, you can easily get caught.
